While wandering around, I came across this little memorial and had to stop to admire it because of its bright colors, river-front location in Victoria Tower Gardens {as a side note, everything seems to be a garden here...}, and peacefulness.

From the little that I know {meaning, the sign told me}, the memorial was built following the 1833 Slavery Abolition Act.

This just further proves how much I have to learn about England and its rich history. Looks like I'll be visiting a lot of museums in the next coming weeks... stay tuned, kiddos!
